ARP main bolts oil pump clearance

Why should ARP care when they have a monopoly on fasteners?
When Procomp (Speedmaster) finally ruin all the medium priced parts manufactures out there and all that is left is their hokey stolen part designs or high end manufactured parts like jesel etc, that's when the fun and games is really going to start...Having one fastener that won't fit will be a dream compared to what they will be sending you :) They will have the monopoly...

Put a main girdle setup on a Windsor Ford a few years back. The kit was some China made crap. When I torqued the studs down the threads pulled right off the studs. Replaced the fasteners with ARP, no problems. Moral of the story is ARP will never be snuffed out by ProComp. Why's that you ask, because people in the know won't touch that junk, and the cheap fools that do usually replace it with the quality brand when the China crap breaks or fails. :violent1:
